Review of Cutie and the Boxer (2013) by Taisia M — 07 Jul 2014

There is not enough development of the past nor is there enough emotion in the present to really understand the stasis the two artists now exist in. The fatal flaw is in not only relying on the audience's prior knowledge of Ushio and Noriko, or at least one of the two, but by also forgoing a third person narrator, we see the story in really no opinion.

While the implication of an agitated past is there, inferred almost constantly, I was mostly underwhelmed. It isn't all bad, and for anyone who has an indication of the characters it is probably much more rewarding.
